SOURCE: lawn tractor will not start

It sounds like a stuck or unhooked safety switch. Make sure you have the blades disengaged first, then check the safety switch on the blades.

SOURCE: 10 year old Craftsman Lawn Tractor won't start

I had a similar problem and found that the float was hanging up on the wall of the carb fuel chamber. I sanded lightly the outer edge of the float and never had the problem again. That was 3 years ago. Having a different problem now. After setting overnight in cold weather, 20's, engine turns over very slowly even with a new battery. Engine starts, but barely. Once running, everything seems fine. After shutoff, engine restarts quickly. Next morning, same thing happens. Anyone have any thoughts?

Lawnflite 630 ride on mower. Key to turn how do we start the engine?

hi,

did you lose your key? here is a link to buy one, they are generic so you might be able to go to a local lawnmower shop for that. if it wont start with the key check your safety switches at the blade control lever under the panel and under the seat. riding lawnmowers that sit out get rusted all over, look for rust and bad connections under the service panel and battery compartment, sand connections with sandpaper..

I cant shut off my lawn tractor with the key

Hi,
I actually had the same problem with my tractor and it turned out to be that I had to run a second ground wire (ground to a separate point) that forces the coil to ground). My suggestion is to remove the flywheel cover and attach a wire (at a different point) to the coil and then start the tractor and when you go to shut it off. Turn the key and then just find a metal point on the tractor to touch the wire to and hopefully the tractor will shut off.
Good luck!

I have a craftsman electric key start lawn mower. I used the key start twice and have charged it after each mowing, but now the key start won't turn it over.

the battery probably got over charge & shorted the cells the tractor should charge the battery as it runs if it was equiped with electric start the battery charger more than likely over charged it killing the battery
